The reason I call it an App (Short for Application) is that the main program is on a server while the user accesses it from the interface, much like most of the apps on the Apple Iphone or Android device.

The want is for most of the bigger companies to call all computer programs, no matter which device they are used on, to be called Apps now instead of the more apt "Program" they had been in the past. Most of the online purchase portals are called "App Stores" now, including the windows version.

Sucks, but there you go.
